Senior Santa & Friends

Senior Santa & Friends provides gifts and special request items to low income individuals who are elderly or adults who are severely disabled. The individuals are clients of Orange County Social Services Agency and/or the Orange County Health Care Agency. Each year staff identifies clients who would benefit from having such things as household appliances, special medical equipment, nutritional supplements, or clothing. Often times these individuals are isolated from family and their community. Items received through Senior Santa & Friends help to enhance the quality of life, making life easier, more comfortable or more independent. Last year Senior Santa & Friends provided almost 6,500 gifts to this vulnerable population. This was largely due to the efforts of volunteers and donations received from County employees, private companies, community based organizations and private individuals who donate to Senior Santa & Friends annually.

Donations and Volunteer Opportunities

Angel Tags

These tags can be displayed on trees, bulletin boards, walls, etc. Angel Tags provide gift suggestions for a child or senior in need of a gift from "Santa". An informational package will be sent with the Angel Tag order.

Taking part in an Angel Tag gift project can be a wonderful alternative to your annual gift exchange.

Checks, Gifts Cards and Cash

Monetary donations such as checks, cash, and gift cards are essential to the success of our programs. Your tax-deductible donation enables Operation Santa Claus and Senior Santa & Friends to purchase gifts and other special need items for children, teens, and disabled seniors. For tax purposes, a letter of receipt will be sent to you in January so please provide your name and address on any correspondence.
